Breno Leitao d54e56f31a x86/nmi: Fix the inverse "in NMI handler" check 
Commit 344da544f1 ("x86/nmi: Print reasons why backtrace NMIs are
ignored") creates a super nice framework to diagnose NMIs.

Every time nmi_exc() is called, it increments a per_cpu counter
(nsp->idt_nmi_seq). At its exit, it also increments the same counter.  By
reading this counter it can be seen how many times that function was called
(dividing by 2), and, if the function is still being executed, by checking
the idt_nmi_seq's least significant bit.

On the check side (nmi_backtrace_stall_check()), that variable is queried
to check if the NMI is still being executed, but, there is a mistake in the
bitwise operation. That code wants to check if the least significant bit of
the idt_nmi_seq is set or not, but does the opposite, and checks for all
the other bits, which will always be true after the first exc_nmi()
executed successfully.

This appends the misleading string to the dump "(CPU currently in NMI
handler function)"

Fix it by checking the least significant bit, and if it is set, append the
string.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
